Established in 2005, One of a Few is a beautifully curated boutique with thoughtfully selected clothing, footwear, bags and objects from creative fashion designers around the world. Their location in Vancouver’s Gastown neighborhood is a must on every city shopping tour. You’ll find new labels and artists to love on each visit. We can’t get enough. Shop designers such as Rachel Comey, Apiece Apart, Building Block, Martiniano, Maryam Nassir Zadeh, Clare V. and more.

For those structured pieces that are polished without being uptight, look no further than this modern women’s wear label. The brand was created in 2009 by Yara Flinn and it was honestly love at first sight for us. Designed to visually represent the cultured and complex nature of the modern women, the line draws inspiration from architecture, art, and the characteristics that divide and unify masculinity and femininity. Urban culture, ‘90s minimalism and athleticism are also huge influences for Yara who counts basketball and rap music as two of her personal obsessions. Shop Nomia for sleek, sporty staples and minimalist dresses.
